According to a recent report from RingSideNews, The Showstopper actually shaved his head for a movie role. After the opportunity to wrestle at Crown Jewel alongside Triple H came up, Shawn Michaels made the decision to keep the look to match with The Game for Crown Jewel. Moving forward, it’s unclear if he’ll keep the look going into the future.
Unfortunately, no one knows much about his future in wrestling. HBK continues to hold a huge role at the WWE Performance Center. As the balance of power shifts from Vince McMahon to Triple H and Stephanie, it’s clear that Shawn Michaels’ importance within the company will continue to grow as HHH quickly rises in power on a corporate level.
There’s no question that The Heartbreak Kid’s role with the company is expanding into something he didn’t expect. Regardless of his hair style, the WWE Universe can expect to see Shawn Micheals working with WWE more closely in the future in some way.
